Poland Celebrated Nationalism as Macron Derided It

The Europeans are not all alike. The impression we get is that they are self-indulgent, self-loathing freeloaders who won't pay for their own defense while wanting to impose their religion of global warming on the rest of the world. As Trump's last visit to France affirmed, the ones on the western coast of Europe, the ones we rescued a couple of times, are ungrateful wretches.

But while we wait for European self-loathing to burn itself out, we should not neglect our true best-friends-forever on the continent, the Poles, who experienced history intensely in the 20th century and do not want a repeat of that in the current one.
